Which shoes should I wear in an upcoming road 5k?

Training Advice/Discussion 5k/10k

I am doing the BAC 5k this coming weekend, the course is obscenely fast and it is a great race.

The only problem is that I lost my xc spikes, which I have worn sin spikes in the past, and do not know what shoes to wear.

My choices:

Adizero adios from 4 years ago (luckily they're not too beat up)

Nike structure+ 17, my current trainer

Nike zoom rival d, my friends from a while back, but these are track spikes

My brothers matumbos, he is buying a new pair soon

Adidas belligerence xc spike, wore it 2 years ago and did not love it but may give it a second shot

Thanks for any replies

Road? Spikes? Might as well wear javelin spikes while you're at it. Have fun you freak.

The smart choice would be the Structures. Adios is a good shoe but the fact that you havent worn them in 4 years is pretty sketchy. The other choices are spikes... It's a road race, bro, invest in some good flats.

Why the flux would you consider wearing spikes? Do you compete in the Extra Special Olympics?

Too funny. That race is notorious for people not seeding themselves properly. 24minute runners lining up at the front.

Really? I ran 17:50 and 16:20 the years I did it and didn't notice any slower people in font of me at the start line.
